Cron Job PHP Problems

Hello,

I'm currently trying to implement a few cron jobs that run PHP files, but I've run into some issues.

The first cron job runs a PHP that downloads files from an external server. I initially used wget for this, and it worked fine.

The remaining 4 cron jobs push the data from the downloaded files onto my SQL server. Opening the PHP manually from my browser works fine for this, but wget does not (with or without --spider). Using curl doesn't even return an error.

I've tried using php -f -q but there seem to be issues with the path. Regardless of what path I use, I always get a "no input file specified" error. For reference, some of the paths I've tried are:

/home/[username]/public_html/[folder1]/[folder2]/file.php

/home/[username]/[websitename]/[folder1]/[folder2]/file.php

/home/[username]/public_html/[websitename]/[folder1]/[folder2]/file.php

I tried using find -ipath in case I might be getting the path wrong, but the returned path was

/public_html/[folder1]/[folder2]/file.php

which I've already tried, but doesn't work!

Any ideas on what I can do here?

Thanks!

 

Sure! It is

php -f -q /home/[username]/public_html/[folder1]/[folder2]/upload-levels.php
